Shine Foundation Matching Grant

New in 2024, the Indiana Native Plant Society has received a three-year grant from the Sam Shine Foundation, enabling us to hire a contract position to support a variety of INPS programs.

A substantial part of the contract calls for the development of an Indiana “plants of concern” community science monitoring program in partnership with the Indiana Plant Conservation Alliance (INPCA) and the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center (INHDC) at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources – Division of Nature Preserves (DNP). This exciting opportunity will enable Indiana to better monitor rare plants in the state and manage those rare plant sites as needed. More about the purpose of the grant

To receive and utilize the full three year grant, INPS needs to raise $48,000, with $16,000 of that needed by May 31, 2025. Over the three years of the grant, these funds will leverage $120,000 from the Sam Shine Foundation, essentially a 2.5 match to each donation. This is a great opportunity to help the Indiana Native Plant Society protect rare plants in Indiana and more than double the impact of your gift. It is also a lovely way to honor a loved one by making a donation in their name or their memory. Please help us meet our match requirement by donating today.
